Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Can he just take two of the three Freebirds? I thought it had to be all three. If we can pick a singles from a team, why not two out of three? Alright, just wanted to confirm. For sure, who knows what other people will try to pull. I'm sure someone will try to draft somebody who is already drafted and such. It's good to keep our eyes on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHawk Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 What makes this fun is looking at my list of guys and seeing who is getting picked and who is sticking around. Especially when we hit, say, round 6 and you start thinking "So and so is still here but I really need babyfaces" and determining whether to get your perceived top guy or grab babyfaces instead.

goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I am not sure, because value is relative. A guy who has cache in one area and not in another might be available cheaper later because the value is not as high to others as it is to you. I understand people playing it safe so far, but my thinking has been that someone like Ricky Steamboat is a great asset no matter the territory. You know he can get over anywhere. Some of the more regional picks I'm less sure about. Although I don't want to discuss "strategy" in public any further ¬_¬ It really just depends on your goals. If your idea is to make some dream territory that took the best from everywhere then a strategy of "best overall" would make sense but if you just want to book the best possible version of Southeastern or Memphis that you can think of then they really wouldn't include Ricky Steamboat.

Grimmas Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I will talk about my strategy as it unfolds, but I'm definitely taking into account the fact I am in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm deciding on picks by type of wrestler, meaning that I'm looking to fill various slots. Once I decided I wanted a "rebel" foil for Flair and a big guy for my first two picks, it was obvious I should grab the Hayes and Gordy. Roberts didn't factor into my top 15 positions or so, so it was better to just leave him behind rather than not be able to pick for an extra round. I literally could not believe they made it to number 11. I thought KrisZ would at the very least grab them, so thanks for taking "The Natural" instead.

goc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I thought a lot about making Barry Windham my #1 babyface in Southwest and taking him with the 2nd pick. I had enough backup options that I felt better taking the #1 tag team I wanted instead. Barry in Portland against Buddy Rose should be interesting.

El Boricua Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 If I had been looking for a face as my first pick, Windham and Magnum would have been on my short list. I'm getting excited about the potential match-ups we'll be getting from our ""universe" already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Memphis selects Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, The Rock and Roll Express. This forfeit's my 2nd round pick. A cunning plan to trade for Masao Ito in 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dedhemingway Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I agree that it's really interesting to see strategies unfold. Myself, I too am looking to fill 'spots', and I do have an idea for the overarching 'style' that I'm going to bring to Central States. Bock was selected to be the ace while Race was gone, and I think that I'm going to target tag teams with the three back to back picks I have at the end of rounds, if any are still available.

Wahoos Leg Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 My original plan was to take Slaughter and run him as my top heel, but once he wasn't available, I went with who I deemed to be the top overall baby still available. 83 Magnum definitely was a franchise cornerstone, so that's who I chose.

TravJ1979 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 How many guys have you lost due to them being drafted before your turn? I've already had 5 singles and 1 tag team crossed off my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first pick in Rick Martel. Another of my main picks is retired, so yeah. I have a list of guys I want and they are available still, although I wish the Rock'n'Rolls dropped to the second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you DID have Fabs ahead on RNR on your list? I was wondering, I could see a lot of people thinking RNR have more value. My first 2 choices were Barry & The Fabs and I knew I was only going to get 1 so I'm happy so far. No one else who has been taken has been someone I thought I had a realistic shot at.
